I graduated college with a 2.8. I was a glorified HTML modifier for 2 years.

I've since job hopped, learned on the job, studied on my own, etc. and am a Principal Engineer making...a good chunk of money.

I am not book smart. I couldn't pass a Big Tech interview (probably). But there are plenty of jobs out there I can do and I can do well. For me it boils down to soft skills.

I think you'll be fine. But you do you.
